Smooth Gradients of Composability, or Old Man Yells At Compilers

This is the kind of composability I intend for constantly in my approaches to prototype/research about the convivial computing, as described in this post, that differs from more techno-centric approaches where the convivial communities are kind of abstracted in classical/generic denominations of “users” and “developers”, as told in the shared post.

Addressing the more felt/urgent needs of the Global South makes the (re)search for malleability an embodied inquiry with practical consequences that are put in a long lasting dialogue with local communities. I see this as one of the most prominent differences in the diffractive genealogies for malleable systems and convivial computing emerged from the Global North and the Global South.
